FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. I Construction of Barns. That manure which is kept under cover till carried to the held is much more valuable than that which is exposed to the sun, wind and rain, a correspondent of the World says, has been proved by numerous experiments; yet farmers will so construct their barns that their stable manure must be thrown out of doors, where much of its plant food is destroyed and lost. That the liquid manure of animals is worth nine-tenths as much as the solid is admitted by good judges; yet farmers will so construct their barns that from one-half to the whole of that manure is lost That there is much hard work on a farm and not a little that is disagreeable, j fiverv farmer knows: vet farmers will so construct their barns that th re will be more of both than there need be. That it is unhealthy to live partly or wholly underground, needs no argument to prove ; yet farmers will so construct their barns that their cows must thus live most of the time that they are fed in the stable. Whereas, if farmers would so construct their barns with a cemented cellar or basement under the stables for manure, that would then be kept under oover till wanted, and oould be drawn out whenever convenient, all the liquid manure would be saved, the stables oould be more thoroughly cleaned in one fourth to one-third the time and with much less hard, disagreeable work than it would take to wheel the manure into the yard, and could be done just as comfortably in stormy as fair weather, aDd their cows would have a dry and i healthy stable. To wheel the manure of forty head of cattle three or four rods from the stable takes ten or twelve days longer every six months the cattle are stabled over night, than it does to drop it through the floor, to say nothing of the hard, disagreeable work of wheeling it through the mud or snow or on a line of plank to the heap. A tight stable floor, one or two small windows on each of two sides of the oellar, and a ventilator from the qpllar up through the roof, will prevent any odor rising from the manure into the stable. The benefits of cellars or basements under stables for manure, and the objections to keeping cattle in them, are like the goods the merchant advertises for sale, too numerous to mention." Poultry far Market. Raising poultry for market, says the &km, is probably as profitable a business as ordinary farming, but is seldom con ducted ou a large scale with anything like as much certainty. If a large number of fowls are kept on a small area of land diseases are pretty certain to appear amopg them, and if they do not, experience has shown that the egg product decreases in proportion as the number of fowls increases, if all are allowed to run together in one flock. There is no good reason why a man may not keep 10,000 as well as one thousand or one hundred fowls, provided they are separated into small lots and each given sufficient range to insure health. But it will seldom be found profitable to keep more than one hundred in a flock, even when eggs are not taken into consideration. : Many a man has found his twenty-fi*e ?to fifty hens very profitable, but on increasing the number to one hundred, profits disappeared and losses ensued. The poultry business should pay fifteen to twenty per cent, in the vicinity of New York city, but we very much doubt if it does, exoept where raisers keep fancy breeds and sell at fancy prices for breeding pur Doses. " J Useful Family llyelp*. >; How to Cubby \ FavOb.?Take the half of your favor (a wedding favor will l>e found the cheapest) and well scrape it; then gently fry it a nice brown, or, if preferred, a light Indian ink. One minute before you take it up throw in a saladspoonful of disinfecting powder and two ounces of lip salve. Stir well for three-quarters of an hour, and serve up hot in pewter pots with bread crumbs. This dish will be found a most excellent substitute for black pudding for luncheon. flow to Make a Nice Pickle.?Take your youngest male child when about three years old. Let him have everything he wants ; let him make as much noise as ever he likes; let him eat and drink as much and whatever he has a fancy for ;. give strict instructions to his papa, his big brothers, sisters, visitors, and servants that he is never to be punished in any way for anything he may do, and never even contradicted in any thing he may say. By the time he arrives at the sweet age of seven, your youngest male child will be a very nice j pickle. Getting Rid ! Stamps. Some one, not long ago, started the idea that sulphuric acid would totally destroy stumps. An auger hole was to be bored in the top, filled with sulphuric acid, and plugged. In a day or two the stump would be eaten up, even to the very roots. I tried the experiment and failed, only a small portion of the stump, at the top, being affected. The following method I tried and found it to be a Serfect success : In the autumn bore a ole one or two inches in diameter, according to the girth of the stump, vertically in the center of the latter, and about eighteen inches deep. Put into it one or two ouDoes of saltpeter; fill the hole with water and plug up close. In the ensuing spring take out the plug and pour in about one-half gill of kerosene oil and ignite it. The stump will smolder away without blazing, to the ver^ extremity of the roots, leaving nothing | but ashes. ..' Lost Women. An exchange commends the following I fchnnahts to the tmblic Has it ever occurred to you what a commentary upon r our civilization are those lost women, and the attitude of society towards them ? A little cnild strays from her home inclosure, and the whole oommunitv is on the " alert to find the wanderer ancr restore it to its mother's arms. What rejoicing when it is found, what tearful sympathy, what heartiness of congratulations! There are no harsh comments upon tired feet, be they ever so miry. No reprimand for the soiled and torn garments, no lack of kisses for the tearstained face. But let the child be grown into womanhoodlet her be led from it by the scourge of want; what happens ? Do Christian men and women go in quest of her ? Do they provide all possible help for her retain, or if she re- j turn of her own notion, do they receive her with such kindness and delicacy as j to secure her against wandering ? Far 1 from it. At the first step she is denounced as lost?lost! Echo, friends and relatives?we disown you; don't ever come to disgrace us. Lost, says society, indifferently. How bad : these girls are ! And lost?irretrievably lost?is the prompt verdict of conventional morality, while one and all unite in bolting every door between her and morality. Ah ! will not those lost ones be required at our hands hereafter? Centennial Notes. The British commissioners have received a telegram from their secretary abroad announcing that four crews of four will visit Philadelphia to oompete "at the Centennial regatta. There are two enormous lumps of zinc ore, one weighing 8,000 and the other 5,000 pounds, on exhibition on the Centennial grounds. They were mined near Bethlehem, Pa., and are exhibited by the Lehigh zinc company. A Pittsburgh firm has a structure of elaborately wrought sheet iron, within it being specimens of almost everything that has ever been constructed of that article. This feature is confined principally to the exhibits of marble, pottery, iron and cabinetware. Two derrisks, each seventy-two feet in height, have beeD erected on Elm avenue, opposite the main building, by parties who will, during the exhibition, use one of them for exhibiting the process* for boring an artesian oil well, being determined to keep on boring while the great show lasts, even though they must penetrate to the depth of 3,000 feet; and the other, that of pumping from a flowing well. Sweden and Queensland will each give a complete illustration of its latest geological survey- The interior of the sectional structure of the latter is lined | with paintings representing pioturesque scenery and the nature and structure of strata. The Egyptians have begun ar-' ranging piaster oasts from the monuments erected to their monarchs who died prior to 1800 B. 0. The furniture of their pavilion will hardly be excelled, or even equaled, by any at the exhibition. Much of it is of sycamore wood, carved in the ancient Arabic style, and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, ebony, ivory ! and silver, the whole of the work being ! done by hand. There are also large brazen trays, engraved with sentences expressing Arabic religious sentiments, the work being so fine that the labor of many months was required for the oom| pletion of one trey. Gold Mining in the Black Hills. Oolonel Dodge has published a small work on the Black Hills region, describing the physical features of the country, the soil, timber, climate, etc., and giving much information respecting the precious metals supposed to be deposited tViAro Thftm is ?rold in the hills, no ! doubt, but how much is yet a question. The author thinks it is no place for poor men. The mining is of such a nature that it requires capital to carry it on profitably. It has passed into a proverb that " plaoar " miniDg is the poor man's diggings, while " qcartz " mining is only for the rich. Placei mining in the Black Hills will not pay the poor man, unless he be a "heathen Chinee." He may make a little money by securing a claim, selling it out to a man or oompany who has capital to buy up many claia s, then looking for and securing another claim with the same intention and result. This is a poor and precarious foundation on which to base a living. No man can make more than the barest wages by panworking a single claim in the Black Hills. The placer mines, as well as the quartz mines, are here only for the rich man, and I would advise no poor man to go into the hills with the expectation of making money by mining himself. Of course, he may be fortunate enough to strike rich diggings and do well; but as a general rule he will make more money as day laborer for some wealthy man or company than he possibly can by working for himself on a single claim. The reports of the enormous wealth of the placer mines in the Black Hills are the most barefaced fabrications, got up by miners who wish to sell their claims. Money is to be made here by men who have sufficient capital to buy up claims along the creek, sufficient to warrant the expense of dams, ditches, and all work necessary for hydraulic mining. If they have already the means of oc mfortable livelihood, poor men had better stay at home, unless prepared to An nmnnn All tflio ia Qflid /in f.Vlfl BTITl. wu1i> uu V* ct^uoi fill Bllin iu diuvi vji nuvuu^ position that the Black Hills will, sooner or laier, be opened to the miner. Under present circumstances, in addition to the disadvantages mentioned, he is liable at any moment to be arrested by the troo-js and sent from the hills a prisoner. A Merchant's Start in Life. When the late A. T. Stewart reached his majority he returned to Ireland to receive his patrimony, upon the interest of which he had been living in New York. Before starting on his return he spoke of the object of his oontemplated visit to Ireland to Mr. Chambers, then well known as a buyer at auction for several business houses in New York city. " How much is your patrimony ?" asked Mr. Chambers. "About $10,000,1 suppose," answered Mr. Stewart. " A snug little sum. What do you intend doing with it?" "Invest it here and live on the income." " You can do better." "How?" " Go into trade." " Nonsense. I know nothing about I trade. I can't even buy a hat or a pair of gloves without getting some one else to pick them out for me. " Stuff," ejaculated^ Mr. Chambers. 44 3>o as I tell you. Uo to Belfast and ! buy insertions and scallop trimmings, i Spend all your fortune in them and you | will double your morey." Arriving in Ireland, Mr. Stewart found that his patrimony had been diminished to $5,000 by bad speculations of his guardian. This circumstance led him to adopt the advice of Mr. Chambers, and when he returned to New York his entire patrimony was invested in insertions and scallop trimmings. The two friends determined to go into business together, Stewart actio g as salesman while Chambers made the outside purchases. The first difficulty 1 wtis in finding a storeroom suited to their purpose. They looked through Pearl and Hudson streets, the centers of the retail trade at that time, but j found the rents too high for them. Finally, No. 283 Broadway was advertised 44 to let," the rent demanded being $875. This was considered too high also, but it was determined to take the g)ace, and this is the way A. T. Stewart. i gun his oareer and laid the founda-1 tions of Ixjs trade. Filling Up Space. A young man who left the Alleghanies I a few weeks ago to fill a situation in i New York, got an idea that some address ctixds would help him into high-toned society. He left his order with a printer, and in due time received his cards. Aiter a little reflection he took them back to the office, and remarked: 41 Seems to me there's a good deal of blank space on these cards. I don't see why you can't put the picture of a horse over the name, and you might have a ship or a plough, or some such thing, in each corner. It looks wicked to waste bo much spaoe!"

A desperate fight took place in the streets of Limerick recently. Messrs. Bntt and O'Shaughnessy, members of Parliament for the city, had announced their intention of addressing the people from the base of O'ConnelTs monument. A procession numbering some thousands consequently marched to the plaoe. A bodv of Nationalists, armed with sticks, &ho had previously taken possession of the monument, attacked the piooession. The Nationalists were overpowered, after a fight in which many persons were badly injured. The police and military were under arms, but abstained from interference. The London Standard's correspondent at Limerick says the Home Rule procession numbered 4,000, and oonsisteJW the trade guilds with bands and banners. Messrs. Butt, O'Shaughnessy and O'Sullivan occupied a carriage in the line. The Nationalists were only a few hundred in number, but they were well armed with stones, bludgeons and knives, and had evidently drilled for the fight The Nationalists in the first onset succeeded in smashing the musical instruments and destroying the banners of the Home Rulers, but they were at last driven into a public house, which was completely wreaked. The cause of the riot was the discontent of the Nationalists, who form a remnant of the Fenian party, at what they declare to be the utter neglect of the Home Rule question by the so-called Home Rule leaders during the present session of Parliament. Over one hundred persons were wounded in the riot, of whom, forty were seriously, and six, it is feared, fatally injured. At the meeting Mr. Butt spoke hopefully of the prospects of the cause. He pointed to the efforts of the party during the session to obtain reforms in connection with parliamentary and munioipal franchise. He declared if Ireland had a native Parliament to foster Irish indus try Ualway and -Limenca wouia eacn have transatlantic packet stations. ' "The Baghdad Plague. The news from the city of the caliphs is not reassuring ; the plague is increasing there, and at latest reports thirty new cases and ten deaths were reported daily. This figure is already large in itself for a city of hardly one hundred thousand inhabitants, for such is now the population of Bagdad, which counted in the ninth century two million inhabitants. But the worst feature of the plague resides in the facility with which it may be liable to spread m the neighboring districts, and even in southern Europe. This is to be feafed, especially now, for this is the season of the religions pilgrimages made by Moslems to their shrines, and by Roman Catholics and orthodox Greeks to Jerusalem. Moreover, the sultan is strengthening his army in Herzegovina with recruits from his Asiatic provinces, around Bagdad and along the Persian gulf, as well as the eastern Mediterranean* shore. The city of the caliphs was often devastated, and notably in 1831, by a plague brought by a handful of Indian pilgrims, just as, in 1720, a single infected ship caused the appalling plague which almost destroyed Marseilles. Wanted to Enjoy It, The late A. T. Stewart, in the selection of his paintings, invariably chose those which united with a large and prominent figure subject bright and striking colors. At one time a few artists and private friends met at his house to examine a new painting by ( Meissonier, which had just arrived, having been painted by Mr. Stewart's order some time before. In the oourse of the conversation Mr. Stewart remarked that in his opinion the colors were too light. In reply, one of the gentlemen said that Meissonier painted for the future; that the colors would become brighter by age, and in ifty or one hundred years the picture would be much more pleasing than if bright colors had been used. Mr. Stewart's reply was clwracteristic: " But, oonfound it, I dmrt expect to live fifty or one hundred < years, and I want to enjoy it now." Gfrasshoppers in Connecticut. The Norwalk (Conn.)
